Look Linger Love

If you’re anything like me you’ve always been a little interested in the behind the scenes of a product shoot. So today I wanted to share my experience with our first Sohp Shop photoshoot! We shot with Charleston photographer Leigh Weber, one of my most favorite photographers ever. She’s the talent behind the underwater photos you see all over the internet. I wanted the first shoot to be fairly laid back and flexible, so we did it at our house over the course of two days. We needed studio photography for our website, simple product shots with a white background along with a good mix of styled product shots as well as some photos with kids. We set up a little studio in both our family room and our sunroom, and it was truly the most fun and stress free experience.

So I’m just going to share some behind the scenes iPhone snaps along with a few of the shots that Leigh captured. As you can see in the photo below, I had to be kinda quick because Lilly didn’t like me double-shooting. When she caught me I think she actually said, “Mooom Leigh’s taking the photos”.

We asked two of our friends, Georgia and Grace, to come help out and be in some photos. We were supposed to have one more model too but she wasn’t feeling well the day of so we will hopefully get to include her next time.

These girls were fantastic. Lilly had the idea to throw confetti and they turned out to be some of my most favorite shots from the shoot! We really just played around a lot and tried anything.

Leigh managed to get Fletch to take a few photos, too!

Grace showed up with the cutest sparkly manicure. She probably went to The Water Room. Adorable.

There are a lot more photos on our site – check ’em out! I wanted lots of photos in our product listings, I think that’s the blogger in me. I’m already excited to do another shoot with Leigh. She’s just so talented and the most calming, kind person to have by your side. Which is exactly what you want in a potentially high anxiety situation. I can’t thank you enough, Leigh!

And shameless plug – your kids want Sohp Shop! Your neighbor’s kids want Sohp Shop. Your friends and co-worker’s kids want Sohp Shop. We are a clean soap for kids that is not only non-toxic, but is also super FUN. Every ball of soap has a surprise toy hidden inside, making hand washing a whole lot more fun! Dreamed up by a kid, for kids. Check out our Sohp Shop website here!

Well it’s Spring Break week here, and you’re looking at it. Just a few months ago the kids were begging to go to Florida. Now they’d be happy to go to TCBY down the street. But we’re making the best of it and are FINE. We are fine. And that’s what matters. I have a feeling we are looking at a couple-many-few weeks ahead of quarantine. So while this round up may look like it’s for the kids today, it’s really for all of us ;)

The Swurfer Swing might just be my kids favorite thing we own. Tip, hang it in your front yard where your kids can be seen and – boom, they want to go outside! Now I know that waterslide bounce house looks crazy and it might be over the top, but imagine the fun. A giant connect four game? Yes, please. Fletch has those shorts and they pretty awesome really – water resistant too! And Lilly has these pajamas and they’re just the cutest!

A lot of these items would make good Easter gifts too – like that cute Unicorn and scrabble junior. And how cool are those customizable stuffed chairs?? There are so many cool fabrics.
